LADYS TOILET-M l RROR.

$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 623,790, dated April25, 1899.

Application filed April 11, 1898.

T0 ctZZ whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL O. KENYON, of lVyoming, in the county ofWashington and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Ladies Toilet-Mirrors; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to the manner of holding a small auxiliary mirrorused mostly by ladies in connection with the usual large mirror toenable them to see the back portion of the head or dress.

It is fully explained and illustrated in this specification and theaccompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows in elevation one of the smaller mirrors mounted on theimproved holder attached to the frame of a large mirror. Fig. 2 shows aportion of the device used to attach the holder to the frame of thelarge mirror. Fig. 8 is the other part of the device, a portion of whichis shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4'. represents the two parts shown in Figs. 2and 3 put together as they are when in use. Fig. 5 shows the form of thelinks of the holder and the way they are connected together.

The object of this invention is to produce a holding device for a smallmirror in connection with a large mirror that shall be capable ofsetting the mirror in any desirable position and that shall be light andneat and not expensive to make.

In Fig. 1, A represents the ordinary large mirror usually attached tothe side of the room or held in supports on the top of a bureau. D is asmaller mirror held on a spindle a by means of screw-eyes c c, thatallow the mirror to turn completely around horizontally. This spindle ais flattened a little way up from its lower end to receive a bolt e,that passes through an eye in the end of the last link-of the holder bywhich it is secured to that link and allowed to make a complete turn ina vertical plane on the bolt.

In Fig. 2 is seen the part of the device 0 that is made fast to thelarge mirror-frame. It consists of a knee of metal having two holes inone of its flanges for screws by which Serial No. 677,157. (No model.)

it is fastened, preferably, to the back of the mirror-frame, though itmay be put on the edge, if preferred. The other flange of the knee Chasgrooves o 1; made in its face radiating from a hole made in the centerof the flange to receive a bolt h, by which the other part J of thedevice seen in Fig. 3 is made fast to it. That part J consists of a fiatplate having two ears 9 g on one side, with holes in them to receive apin j, that connects the plate to the first link of the holder, whichhas eyes at its end that enter between the ears g g, Fig. 1, so that thepinj will pass through them. This plate J has a hole in its centerthrough which the bolt h passes, and a thumb-nut n on the end pressesthe two parts together, a ridge 0" on the face of part J entering one ofthe grooves v on the part 0 to prevent the plate from moving on the knee0 when the thumb-nut is screwed up. The form of the links y y are shownin Fig. 5. They are made, preferably, of wire bent into a loop, with twoeyes Mat one end, and the other end is formed into two eyes 0 0, whichpass in between two eyes 2' 2' of the next link, and a pinj is putthrough the four eyes to connect two links together. The end link, nearthe mirror D, has one end made into a flat loop, through which the bolt6 passes, as before mentioned. To put the holder and mirror D up inposition for use, the knee 0 is secured to the frame of mirror A,preferably on the back, though it may be put on the edge or on somesupport adjacent to the mirror by means of screws through the holes inthe knee. Then by loosening the thumb-nut n the plate J can be turned soas to throw the arm of the holder up or down, and by turning the mirrorD on the spindle or on the spindle in the bolt 6, or by a combination ofthose motions, the mirror can be placed in any desired position withregard to the larger mirror.

The links of the holder have been described as being made of wire; butthey may be made of metal in other forms or of any other suitablematerial.

Having thus described my improvements, 1 claim as my invention anddesire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a toilet-mirror and holder, anadjustable clamp secured to a large mirror or some adjacent support, andprovided with cars,

combined with a flexible support consisting I of a series of links, eachone of which is made tapering, and which have their smaller endsinserted between the larger end of the next adjacent link, bolts j,which are passed through the links, and a smaller mirror which ismounted upon the free end ofthe support, substantially as described.

2. A support for a mirror consisting of a suitable number of taperinglinks which are provided with eyes 2 at one end and with the bentportions 0, at the other, the end of one link fitting in the end of thenext adjacent one, combined with the, bolts j, which pass through theeyes i, and the bent portions 0, a 15 clamp to which the inner end ofthe support is fastened, and a spindle adjustably secured to the otherend of the support, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set 2;: my hand this 9th day ofApril, A. D. 1898.

DANIEL 'o. KENYON.
